Every day, we hear that we should walk more, watch what we eat, and work out. So, some of us need to keep track.
Fitness wearables exist as far back as 2003. But as more and more people got into exercise, competition has increased.
And, when it comes to fitness smartwatches, three brands have made a name for themselves. Apple, Fitbit, and Garmin have vastly different backgrounds, but they all want to be your fitness tracker.
So, let's look at these wearable fitness brands in this episode of Company Forensics.

Garmin is by far the best for fitness tracking, and Apple for general “smartwatch” usage

I'm very active. I am 39 and pretty much been a gym rat since 17 or 18. I went to college for kinesiology and was a personal trainer for a decade. When I got a smart watch and it said my RHR was too high and I was obese (240 with a 15% bodyfat but BMI was 35) I chucked it

I personally have used all the three brands, I own a Fitbit and an apple watch and I also had used a Garmin for a week or so. I have to say the Garmin is the most accurate and the best if you are really into stats and adventure but wont mind and less features. The apple watch is the best smart watch out there, with all the apple ecosystem advantage it has and a better screen in my opinion it feels like it is worth your money which you usually cant say about apple. The Fitbit is this awkward middle child, is it good? Yes! Is it the best? No! Fitbit is right in the middle with the stats pretty accurate and having almost competitive features but its not a Garmin or apple watch. There is more room to improvement from syncing to allowing more notifications etc. Apple watch is just better, that's the fact and its something most apple haters will even agree to.

I sprung for my first fitness tracker, the Mi6. I paired it with a KeyOne Android and also use underarmour mapmyrun and the Google fit app. It was a learning process of trial and error for the Mi6. It comes cheap because there’s no gps and the Bluetooth can only pair with one electronic device, probably your cell phone. It’s easy to use, but may require unpairing and pairing again with the cell phone when syncing doesn’t work. I’ve learned my lesson about fitness trackers and will probably opt for a gps equipped unit with easier Bluetooth syncing. Likely FitBit, and replace my obsolete phone with an android style 5G. I’m quite amazed how all the features of fitness tracking has evolved and is quite sophisticated. My fitness tracker is very useful at analyzing how well I slept, which I’m concerned about. What I hope to see would be a fitness tracker with multiple Bluetooth syncs, across apple OS and Google.

Love that Caya still wears the ‘Watch 0’ ⌚️ Like him, I’m not really into having to own the latest or greatest.. my watch has a cool story behind it, and at this point I’m interested in seeing how long it’ll last. I almost got persuaded to upgrade when a favourite app no longer supported the first gen watch , but it just ended up downloading another app that did the same thing. Anyway, love the content.. keep it up, you’re awesome. 🤙🏼

The three mentioned brands have different target customers, even if they overlap a bit. From a technology point of view it seems that Apple with their own chips can decide their own path where other brands will have to rely on Qualcomm, so then there will be the “all the same” android problem. Garmin is on the right track for the more extreme athletes but not sure what OS and chips they are using.

Apple - pricey battery life is terrible and not very detailed Fitbit - charges to see YOUR own data. Also the new watches are very temperamental with recording data. Garmin - I’ve moved to venu 2s and happy with watch faces, data and recording. It takes a bit of practise with interface though

I've been tempted to switch to Apple but that means said Goodbye to my Samsung Frontier SG3 (American version). Still, I found all features are the same through all these smartwatch brands but one thing is for sure Apple Watch looks very stylish, Garmin is more enduro, and Fitbit is the best gym companion.

I avoided wearables for a long time, because the feature set didn't justify the price for me. Eventually this past year I got a Fitbit charge for, and primarily used it for tracking daily health goals, sleep, and as a notification portal to my phone. It has nearly everything I would want this tool for, at this price point, with the exception of easier access to weather. If I did more intense hiking Like I used to, I might consider something like Garmin. Otherwise, Fitbit is doing a good job, and I look forward to where they go

“Can your children wear the watch?”, Well, if I have $5000, I can invest it in something that grows 5% per year and have $750 every 3 years to replace the one I wear now. I can do this in perpetuity, theoretically, if I don’t take inflation into account.

Fitbit is best , it tracks sleep , activity, if I go for a run or walk even a swim , I don’t need to pus a button,, it tracks al that automatically. Garmin is very good for the gps , but for healt , best is Fitbit , and they wil be better .

@Me-eb3wv Ай бұрын

Exactly. Apple smart watches are mediocre in everything unless if you buy their most expensive model. But even then their smart watches are just wanna be smartphone replacements, which is why I don’t like them. Calling and texting is better done on a smartphone over a tiny 2 inch square that sits on your wrist
